Jaguar XJ 3.0 V6D (2010) CAR review

Gavin Green, 26 February 2010 00:01

brightcove.createExperiences(); We have to look back to the early Bangle BMWs, or to Tom Ford’s extravagant efforts at Gucci, to see a similar shake-up of a company’s design DNA. Out goes the carriage-clock Jag; in comes the brave XF of 2008 and, even more, this bold new XJ, Maserati Quattroporte emotion meets Bentley grandeur, rakish coupe lines meets four-door luxury ...

Mercedes-Benz is on a roll. After the excellent new C-class and E-class saloons – proper ...

Ferrari 458 Italia (2009) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 05 November 2009 00:01

Finding that Scuderia a bit spartan? Want the same kick but with a heap more refinement? The answer’s the replacement for the F430, the new 458 Italia. You can read the full story in CAR’s December 2009 issue out on 18 November:• Detailed nine-page 458 Italia first drive feature• Greg Pajo's beautiful photoshoot• Feel what it's like behind the wheel• ...

VW Scirocco R (2009) CAR review

Ben Barry, 04 November 2009 00:01

Volkswagen is nudging upmarket with the new 2009 Scirocco R reviewed here – isn't a 263bhp sports coupé treading dangerously close to the toes of inhouse rival the Audi TT? Especially as the VW Scirocco R costs a competitive £26,945, £6500 less than an equivalently powerful TT S.We've just driven the new VW Scirocco R and can deliver our first ...

Porsche 911 Turbo (2009) CAR review

Georg Kacher (photography by Paul Barshon), 13 October 2009 14:00

This is the facelifted Porsche 911 Turbo, and it incorporates most of the tweaks made to the regular 911 18 months ago, including the seven-speed PDK double-clutch gearbox. Are you sure this new Porsche 911 Turbo is new? It looks the same to me... This is a 911 we’re talking about – styling tweaks are always going to be subtle. But if ...

Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Balboni CAR review

Chris Chilton, 13 August 2009 16:10

Because the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 isn't quite enough for everyone, there's now a less-is-more version. With no front driveshaft and all the power from the 5.2-litre V10 going to the rear wheels, this is the limited edition LP550-2 Valentino Balboni, and a chance to help shift a few more cars, deflect attention from the new Ferrari 458 Italia, and finally ...

BMW M3 Coupe Edition (2009) CAR review

Ben Barry, 12 August 2009 12:25

In the past we’ve had M3 Sport Evos, GTs and CSLs from BMW, all building on already brilliant foundations, all adding a little more petrolhead attitude. But with the E92 generation’s lightweight CSL project long since canned, the M3 Edition is as close as we’ve yet come to an even more desirable M3. What’s the difference between a regualr BMW ...

Land Rover Discovery 4 TDV6 HSE (2010) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 11 August 2009 09:30

No, it’s not some blinged-up Chelsea tractor. Land Rover has treated the Discovery 4 (as it’s now called) to lots of body-coloured finishes where plain black once ruled, plus a restyled nose, twin wing vents and some cool LED lights front and rear. Doesn’t sound like much, considering Land Rover deems it worthy of a new suffix. But there’s more ...

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport (2009) CAR review

Chris Chilton (photography of blue car by Mark Bramley), 22 July 2009 09:21

Good timing with the new Bugatti Grand Sport (2009) hypercar. The polar ice caps are melting and the world’s in the middle of the worst financial crisis since John Steinbeck was still scratching around in the dust bowl looking for a pencil, yet Bugatti manages to gauge the zeitgeist perfectly and unleash a £1.5m convertible supercar that emits 596g/km CO2. ...

Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M (2009) CAR review

Ben Barry (photography by Mark Fagelson), 20 July 2009 09:47

This is the Ferrari F430’s swansong, the Scuderia Spider 16M. Just 499 will be produced to celebrate Ferrari’s 16 Formula One constructors’ championships, hence the 16M bit in the name. Its underpinnings are familiar from the Ferrari Scuderia coupé we first drove in 2007, but the roof’s come down and the price has gone up – by around £30k to ...
